Title: Alcoa lugnut covers
Post by: txforetravel on August 03, 2012, 08:29:09 am
Does anyone have a source for lugnut covers for our Alcoa wheels? We lost one while on I-80 headed to Yellowstone. 

When we had new tires installed, the guy messed up a few of them and they were very loose.

You can make it simple and call parts dept at MOT or track down some supplier that might be able to order them for you, providing yu can give him the right part number.
I find MOT a easy simple place to get some parts, FOT for others.

Dave and Nancy Abel provided this link awhile back: 
Alcoa 33mm chrome plastic hex lugnut cover, thread-on style (http://www.empirechromeshop.com/p-4588-alcoa-33mm-chrome-plastic-hex-lugnut-cover-thread-on-style-single.aspx)

I believe you just have to verify the size and whether you need threaded or push-on.

When someone stole our lug nuts and covers, FOT did not have the parts, we found them at a store called sixrobbles, check their web site sixrobblees.com they supply trailer and truck equipment and they can help you out

After much searching and appreciating the service and shipping charges from various suppliers, FOT was by far the best source. at about 3.50 tp 4.00 each last spring.

Here's where I get them:
Alcoa 33mm chrome plastic hex lugnut cover, thread-on style (http://www.empirechromeshop.com/p-4588-alcoa-33mm-chrome-plastic-hex-lugnut-cover-thread-on-style-single.aspx)

$3.59 each.  I think there was a qty 10 discount, but I don't see it right away.  I get 10 at a time, and when they break or get stolen (does happen!) I've got them to replace.

They are also available from truckerdeals.com, check the sub categories.  I believe in 10 packs.

Rick,

I lost at least a couple of covers on the rear wheels after every long trip. The Alcoa covers will not sit flat against the hub cover whenever one of the nut points are at the raised edge of the hub cover. I looked at one of your pictures and you have the same issue. The stainless steel covers are very thin and are less impacted by the raised edge. I kept Alcoa covers on the front wheels as there has been no issues.
